Lewmar Windlass Guide
Easy anchoring starts with a Lewmar windlass
Whether you own a small fishing boat, a 160ft cruiser or a mid-size sailboat,
Lewmar has a windlass designed to fit your exact needs. Each one is crafted with
durability, convenience and affordability in mind. Both our vertical and
horizontal designs are sleek and attractive to complement your boat.
Vertical vs Horizontal Winches ?
Vertical systems have several advantages: They take up less space on deck and
are easier to maintain. They are less expensive than equivalent horizontal
models. Chain alignment for smooth chain retrieval, while important, is not as
critical as horizontal windlass alignment. With vertical systems more chain is
in contact with the chainwheel thus avoiding the possibility of chain jump.
Line-pull on the warping drum can be in any direction, as opposed to fore and
aft only on horizontal models.
Horizontal models have the advantage of being better suited to applications
where there is limited below deck space / accessibility, extreme deck thickness
(over 200mm - 8"), or where two anchors must be handled from one winch.
